Philip Rivers, Chargers survive against the Titans in London, 20-19.

Rivers was 19/26 for 306 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Overall, Los Angeles was mostly held in check offensively, but two big plays—a 75-yard touchdown to Tyrell Williams on the first play of the play and a 55-yard touchdown to Mike Williams to start the third quarter—were able to boost the Chargers as Tennessee failed on a potential game-winning two-point conversion. Rivers heads into the bye week with a 17:3 touchdown-interception ratio and will be a solid QB1 against the Seahawks in Week 9.

Marcus Mariota nearly leads comeback win against the Chargers.

Mariota was 24/32 for 237 yards, one touchdown, and one interception along with seven carries for 38 yards in the London game loss. At the end of the game, Mariota led a touchdown drive to put the Titans within one, but the team went for a two-point conversion and failed on a deflected pass. The touchdown was on a fourth-and-goal with a play-action pass to tight end Luke Stocker. Mariota threw his first career red-zone interception in the game after entering the contest with a 41:0 TD/INT ratio in his career, as a pass was tipped and intercepted. Mariota’s receivers didn’t play well aside from Tajae Sharpe, as Taywan Taylor and Corey Davis both had big drops in the second half. The Titans now have a bye week before facing the Cowboys for a Monday night matchup in Week 9.

Erik Swoope (knee) is active for Week 7.

Swoope was listed as questionable after he was limited in practice during the week. He’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option against the Bills.

Isaiah Crowell (foot) is active for Week 7.

Crowell was listed as questionable but expected to play against the Vikings, and he is indeed active. He’s a risky FLEX option against a tough run defense.

Josh Gordon (hamstring) is active against the Bears.

Gordon continues to record limited practices before being listed as questionable for game day, but he continues playing. The former All-Pro might be relied upon more today with Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back) out of the lineup.

Sony Michel (knee) is officially active for Week 7.

Michel was again listed as questionable coming into the weekend, but he’d probably be getting probable tags if the NFL still offered them as an injury designation. The rookie running back is a great play in fantasy lineups, even against a Bears defense that’s top-two in standard fantasy points allowed against running backs this season.

Julian Edelman (heel) is officially active for the Patriots.

Edelman was limited in practice throughout the week because of his heel injury, but he’s ready to go today against the Bears. You can fire up Edelman as a high-floor option in fantasy lineups for Week 7. He could be in line for a few more targets with Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back) out.
